Texas De Brazil Fresno

Service is slow. Meat was all overcooked. Seems to be declining.

Great quailty meat. Salad bar not that great Missing the grill pineapple. Pricy. Service was fine.

My husband and I love Texas de Brazil. From the service to food quality, it's always worth the price of admission. However, our experience last night was unlike anything we experienced before. We were kindly greeted at check in and told by the hostess that she would check to see if our table was ready. We immediately noticed how few people there were for a Saturday night, usually reservations are hard to come by and it is filled for dinner service. We were shown to our table shortly thereafter and waited for our server. Within 5 minutes, she came to the table, took our drink orders (we were not given a drink menu like usual), and let us know we could head up to the salad bar. Most of the offerings were fairly picked over and quite a few were emptied out altogether which was disappointing. Our server then came around with the bread, plantains, and mashed potatoes. The bread and plantains were amazing as usual, but unfortunately the mashed potatoes were crumbly and hard, unappetizing to say the least and not the usual soft and fluffy texture. Meat then started coming around (medium rare was our requested temperature) and the first four selections were charred on the outside, moreso than the expected churrasco experience, as if the skewers were reheated multiple times. The meat was dense and chewy, not up to par with normal Texas de Brazil offerings. Some of the following selections were thankfully better than those previously brought around, clearly fresh as we're used to seeing. In the interim our server replenished our water twice which was fine, we did notice she was pretty busy. Once we were finished eating we patiently waited for her return to decide on dessert. 10-15 minutes went by and we didn't see her. We continued to wait and then saw her serving other tables and a larger party. We tried to get her attention but were unsuccessful. After a total 30 minutes, we went to the host stand and the server was notified. She then brought our check and we left.

The first few times I went I had incredible experiences, but this time, they took too long to bring the food at the beginning, and also I'm between. I ended up eating the sides by itself. So it wasn't the best.

The restaurant has a good feel and is nice inside. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. I went with my son and we had the salad bar option. The options were plentiful but our favorite were the soups and small biscuits.
